Secretary of State John Merrill says he expects anywhere between 35-to-40-percent of registered voters to cast ballots on November 6th. The deadline to register is October 22nd. Voter participation in the state is usually lower in midterm years, even with the governor's race on the ballot. However, recent events such as the contentious fight in the confirmation of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh has motivated voters to go to the polls next month.
